    I've never understood why viewers would complain about a longer video, especially such an Informative one. All they need do is change viewing Speed in the Settings or breakdown into several viewing sessions. CZcams keeps a History for easily recalling an unfinished viewing.
    Keep Up the Great Work!

    For the Frog Motor wire Piano or otherwise, may I recommend a cycling tool cable cutter that is used for cutting tough high tensile steel wire used for brakes and gears and could get in close enough to your sleepers without the Dremmel thing! About £10.

    Always important to keep points level when layout. Them down as they cause all sorts of problems for derailments when running trains otherwise

    I too like the the speed of the video. It is so nice the watch it whitout having to go back to several times, because I missed something. When I glue something together, I use a finger to spred out the glue. I find much easyer and if you have ar wet piece og cloth within reach, it's not a problem to keep your fingers clean.

    Hi Charlie,
    Brian here from across the pond in Georgia. I'm in the process of building a yard for my Chessie System layout. Until now I've been clipping the end ties from my Atlas flex track. The other day I watched one of your videos where you simply filed the "spike" from the end tie. I tried this and am quite happy to report it works great and looks much better.
    Merry Christmas
    Cheers,
    Brian

    I enjoyed actually seeing the process (instead of Camera Magic) because that shows how much Work goes on unseen during Model Railroading. Truthfully, if this isn't done correctly then nothing will function properly.
    Also love the Upgrade Secrets to ensure longevity of Operation.
    Keep up the Great Videos and MERRY CHRISTMAS to You and Your Family as well as to other Viewers and Their Families!!

    Hello Charlie,
    Just watched Your last Video, and as You were eluding to Your mistake, I turned the screen toward tbe Wife and said, Charlie must have made a good one again. Sure enough, as You picked up the Turnout, I said to my better half, there it is, he picked up the wrong Turnout, and we had a good laugh. Rest assured, it happened to me a few times.
    So, We hope that You will have a Jolly Holly, and wish You all the best for the coming Year.

    @barrysumsion1339 Před 2 lety +1

    Hi Charlie. Until recently I was involved with a friend on a large 0 gauge layout, on which for the last 16 or so years we used Tortoise point motors. Like you we changed the wire up to a similar size to what you use. I was disturbed for your well being seeing you use that high speed cutting device. One slip and they can do a lot of damage to the layout or yourself. Piano wire is indeed very hard and requires substantial effort to cut. After a while we discovered that the Xuron hard wire cutters did the job well and relatively safely. It might be worth trying them - we got on OK with them. Safety first perhaps! Barry.
    PS keep up the good work and your interesting layout. You are one of the few railway modelling 'experts' on CZcams who seems to actually know what you are talking about1

    • @ChadwickModelRailway
      @ChadwickModelRailway  Před 2 lety

      Hi Barry, I hang my head in shame.
      Yes I have relinquished cutting my piano wire in that manner. I now put it in place, mar it with a felt tip pen, remove it and cut it whilst holding it horizontally with a spinning disc.
      It might not be the ideal option, but it is certainly safer. Regards Charlie

    Charlie, as always brilliant! supportive criticism? Not needed, couple of suggestions maybe,, get yourself a 10mm forstner bit, stops tear out under the board, also assists in getting a perpendicular hole?? What else, oh yeh, gorilla glue do a high tack wood glue it does require a silicon glue gun affair but really bonds well, but then like me you already have a fair selection of glues.... please have a great Christmas, and a very healthy and enjoyable new year.

    Hi Charlie, Thanks so much for such a friendly and totally informative video. You’re a born teacher. Recently, at 82 years young I decided to pull out my model train stuff that I’ve had hidden away for about 40 of those years. Needless to say the track was in terrible condition, black with corrosion. I took a chance, grabbed handfuls of track and immersed it in a bath of Pepsi Cola, (I’m assuming Coke would work just as well) and let it sit for about four hours. I then rinsed the track off really well then immersed the pieces in warm water and detergent and let it sit overnight. In the morning I rinsed the track off again and scrubbed the rails and connectors with a 3M type plastic scouring pad. I was amazed to see, with very little effort, that the rails cleaned up, from charcoal grey to bright and shiny. Thanks again for your inspiration.

    The one thing that got me was that jumpers comment...”click bait” hilarious. Very informative video as usual. Like you I show any mistakes or issues I have made as well, even tho I have not done a video in ages. I find showing these things just shows other aspects of the hobby, but also how does one overcome them. Keen to see how your elevation goes with small wagons. When I put my elevation in, coaches worked fine on it but I had issues with long rakes of wagons. In the end I could not resolve it so removed the elevation. I love your videos regardless of the speed. In the end you can’t please everyone. Just please yourself which is the most important thing. Have a great Christmas and many happy returns. Clint

    Hi Charlie Your workmanship, patience, & attention to detail fill me with admiration & envy. It' also great to know that we all make silly mistakes, it's strange how we don't notice at the time and then it suddenly dawns on you what you've done

    Merry Christmas Charlie. A 45 min to an hour long video is fine by me Charlie. As you say, people can either skip through it or run it at 1.5 / 2.0 times faster if they are short for time. Interesting to see you use that strong PVA glue. I'm in the process of relaying an N gauge layout and I use the traditional track pins rather than glue, and it make for easy work. I feel that using that glue and foam will be a nightmare should you ever need to relay the track in the future.

    • @ChadwickModelRailway
      @ChadwickModelRailway  Před 4 lety +1

      No Malcom it’s not a PVA glue, it’s a rubberised alternative to reduce sound transmission. I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it and I do hope that you have a great Christmas.
      Regards Charlie.

    Charlie, just a thought. If you cut the piano wire a bit long on the track side (maybe half a cm), you can then loosen that retaining screw on the point motor and slide the wire down to the desired position. That way, you never cut close enough to the track to run the risk of melting anything. Alternatively, measure the length of a perfectly assembled wire, and cut several to suit. Then slide them in accordingly.

    • @ChadwickModelRailway
      @ChadwickModelRailway  Před 4 lety

      Sorry J, but I haven’t explained the motor very well. The wire comes out of the boss then turns 90 degrees. I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it and I do hope that you have a great Christmas, regards Charlie.

    Hello Clickbait, what have you done with my friend Charlie??
    All in good fun.
    Charlie I like the way you lay track and explain how and why you do what you are doing.
    The trackwork looks to be coming along great . Won't be long now till you have at least one mainline running . No hurry though take your time nd do it right.
    Don't beat yourself up about making a Teri let mistake. We all are guilty there
    I am a seasoned modeller and am designing a modular track plan of a Coal hauling railroad.
    I am planning my loyout on the Any Rail sydtem. More on mine later.

    I thought I had watched about 20 minutes of the video, but it was actually 38 minutes when I checked. That means it was very well-paced and interesting. (Time flies when you're having fun!)
    And, always remember, every mistake you make and have to re-do effectively doubles the size of your layout. And layouts are always too small anyway, so your turnout mistake was a good thing.

    Loved the long and detailed video, as I am sure many do.
    Just keep making videos as you see fit. Viewers can skip them, play them faster if they choose, or probably like the majority of us, enjoy the length and detail in its full glory. Your videos are presented well, you have great charisma as a presenter and I expect most of us are enjoying the video content in any way you see fit to make it. Remember you can't please everyone, so just make them to please yourself. Those that like will follow. The others can find a different creator to follow. Keep up the great work and content.
    BTW, personally I didn't spot the mistake, so glad you told us about it in the end.

    Absolutely good speed for me and was very helpful. I had a layout many years ago which was DC with very simple point motors, I intend to build a new layout using as much as my old kit as possible but with DCC therefore any tutorials showing DCC and fitting point motors is great. Just trying to get my head around it. Thank you Charlie and I hope that you and your family enjoy a very happy Christmas.
